Track List (55:15):

Shine Like A Superstar (7th Heaven Club Mix) - DJ Elle: I remember listening to the original a few months back and thinking it was trash. But 80's band 7th Heaven, now turned producer/remixer have pumped out a fun house vocal.

Lunatic (Club Mix) - The Disco Boys: German DJ/producers, The Disco Boys, create a future disco tune by sampling Gazebo’s 1986 tune “Lunatic”. The original was a top ten hit in Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria and Switzerland. View the original music video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwrxK6ogxhc

Counting Down The Days (Original Extended Vocal) - Sunfreakz feat. Andrea Britton: One of my fave tunes from 2007 that just needed to be brushed off. "Been around, now I found, I was walking on the wrong track yeah, Took my time, I was fine, I was looking for you, Lost my way, for the day, got my ticket, now I'm right back, Here to stay, it's okay, now I'm walking with you"

Knock You Out (Original Mix) - Tiesto feat. Emily Haines: Emily is the lead vocalist from the indie rock band Metric. Check out the fab 3M remix of Metric's Gimme Sympathy on my previous podcast "Happiness Happening". Knock You Out is from Tiesto's new album Kaleidoscope. "Somebody to rough you up, Somebody to make it tough, Somebody to bait you, Somebody to love, But wait…"

Home (Paul Van Dyk Club Mix) - Paul Van Dyk Feat. Johnny Mcdaid: Johnny is the former singer of the British cult band VEGA4. Home seems to meld the lyrical rock with the electronic. Good stuff. Paul Van Dyk remarked at an August Central Park performance that the song was about New York City. Hmmm. "They fashion streets out of the rock, Struck up statues to their gods, amen"

Papillon (Tiesto Remix) - Editors: Wow! This song grows on you. It may become one of my faves of the year. Tiesto turned it out and reaffirmed why I loved him years ago. "Darling, just don't put down your guns yet. if there really was a God here, He'd have raised a hand by now. It kicks like a sleep twitch!"

Give Me Love (Original Mix) - Coburn: My classic tune of this episode. This song never seems to get old. Lyrically it always reminds me of an old Georgio Moroder song.

The last set, Hiding All The Stars, still seems so recent but I wanted you to have a new one before Halloween. It's a bit more progressive than the usual. It's all about the music and the beat but still manages to straddle the line between progressive and mainstream. So without a lot of fanfare and info about the producers, DJ's, and artists or me talking... Just Enjoy!

Hiding All The Stars (Original Mix) - Chicane: With a sample of Gary Numan's 1980's hit Cars and a driving beat we are once again reminded of the greatness that is Chicane. This is not quite the trance sound that they are known for but the electro groove is fun. Lyrics: "You can say what you want, Find the path that you lost somewhere, Be a fly on the wall, Take a dive off a fall in prayer, Everyday there’s a choice, nothing gained from the path we know, There the ones to be wrong, Hiding all of the stars out there"

Fountains of Youth (Timothy Allen Remix) - Loverush UK feat. Molly Bancroft: I found myself enjoying a number of recent Loverush UK remixes. This is the first of three on this set. Originally a big club hit in the U.K., it is now being marketed in the States. Deserves more attention!

Hang On (Digital Dog Remix) - Plumb: Oh how I have loved some Plumb tunes in the past such as Cut, Damaged, and In My Arms. Did you know she's a Christian artist? She has a greatest hits CD of sorts out now. Digital Dog, as always, puts out a magnificent remix.

It's Alright (Loverush UK Remix) - Aviv Geffen: The second Loverush tune makeing an okay Aviv Geffen tune into something great. Aviv is an Israeli artist and this tune is from his first English language album currently being marketed in Europe.

Alright (Domain Pettigrew Remix) - Red Carpet: The original of this tune ruled my original my (gasp) cd walkman back in 2001. I thought it was time to dust off this 2007 mix because of the uplifting good feeling it always seems to give me. Lyrics: "The sun is gonna keep on shining, Bright days on a new horizon, My love for you will keep on risin', Everything is gonna be alright"

Here Comes The Rain Again (Freemason's 2009 Remix) - Eurythmics: One of my top ten favorite songs of all time. How perfect that my favorite DJ/producers put in an awesome production. Welcome back Annie!

Make This Your Day (Gareth Emory Remix) - Fabio XB feat. Micky Vi: If your a Club Kerry NYC fan then you know I'm a Gareth Emory fan and a lover of good vocal trance with an uplifting lyric. Perfect! Lyrics: "Make your cut above the rest, Don’t waste time and don’t look back, ...Set the fire in your soul, Push the button now, Make this your day"

Here on Earth - Tiesto feat. Cary Brothers: Tiesto turns out a nice vocal trance tune from his new album. Almost pop Tiesto! Lyrics: "And you take your time, because we've got all night Saturday or nothing, we can do what we want, I'm a sucker for your game, it's the way you tease, And it's so unreal, when we touch the ceiling"

Stars Collide (Loverush UK Remix) - Damien S. feat. Femke: The final Loverush with a killer chorus. Check out their site at http://www.loverushdigital.com.

Wicked Game (The Letting Go Mix) - Hott 22: No one can do better than the original Chris Isaak tune but this is total fun. Reminds me a bit of recent work by David Guetta.

Million Dollar Bill (The Freemasons Club Mix) - Whitney Houston: Why am I listening to Whitney? Oh yeah, it's the Freemasons! This should have been the mix to kick off her new album.

My Number (Original Mix) - Andy Duguid feat. Donna & Anthony: This fantastic tune is from Andy’s debut album Believe. Andy is definitely one to watch. Catch his other great tune, Hold My Breath, also from the album, on my previous podcast set called Let's Hear It 4 The Boyz (Part 2).

Pick Up The Phone (Richard X 12inch Remix) – Dragonette: Dragonette returns with the first single from the new album and Richard X serves up his usual tasty treat(ment). These first two tunes were meant to be together.

Boys & Girls (Original Extended Version) - Martin Solveig feat. Dragonette: Somehow I found myself listening to two new tunes featuring Dragonette. French DJ/producer Martin Soveig gives us DragonettefrontwomanMartina, all overseen by fashion guru Jean Paul Gaultier. Don’t miss the fun music video featuring all three of them. Electronic pop the way it should be!

It’s So Cool (iTunes Bonus Track) – Madonna: This is her Madgesty’s third new track from the greatest hits album Celebration. It’s originally a tune from the American Life (2003) recording sessions but remade with an Oakenfold production. “Prophets are telling us, we’re near the end, but I am telling you that it’s all pretend.”

Broken Tonight (Original Mix) - Armin Van Buuren feat. Van Velzen: Male vocals should not be shunned in the club community. Time to grow out of your female vocals only or no vocals at all prejudice. C’mon, this is awesome! Good vocal, great beats, strong lyrics. “You don’t have to be broken…”

Sleeping Satellite (Club Mix) – Jan Johnston: There is always a classic or a remake on my sets. This one is just from a few years back but with a slew of new mixes for today with the same amazing Jan Johnston vocal.

New In Town (Fred Falke Remix) – Little Boots: Yeah, I’ve become a Little Boots fan of sorts. However, I’ve become a bigger fan of Frede Falke and his outstanding mixes of late. Go check him out!

Watch The Sun Come Up (Moam Mix) – Example: A rather mediocre tune is turned into trance greatness with this Moam remix.

I Love The Sunshine (Beltek Vocal Radio Mix)- Alan Connor vs. Mike Melange: Now for the schmaltzy moment of the set with an infectious chorus.

Fugitive (Richard X Extended Mix)– Pet Shop Boys: The Dragonette remix by Richard X reminded me of his outstanding mix of this outtake by PSB. It’s one of the few bright spots by PSB in recent years. Yeah, I didn’t much like their past two albums. So shoot me. Or rather tell PSB to get a bit more original with their sound. But to PSB’s credit, this tune had good source material for Richard to work with.

Bulletproof (Tiborg Club Remix) – La Roux: I loved the Fred Falke remix of Bulletproof as well but Tiborg won me over.

I Don't Know (Jerome Isma-ae Remix) – Moony: Moony’s voice is killer. Monica Bragato (Moony) first became popular with the tune Point of View by DB Boulevard and her own song Dove (I’ll Be Loving You).

Sometimes you just need a little something to lift you up and make you feel better. These beats are your remedy. Full of uplifting beats, vocals, and melodies.

Track List (56:40)

Remedy (Kaskade Remix) - Little Boots: GaGa who?

The Beat Goes On (Louis Botella Remix) - Bob Sinclair: I used to love the original. Botella breathes new life into it.

Here Workin' (Dinka Vocal Mix) – Leventina: Happy house continues with a male vocal letting us know he will always be there.

Breath Away (Esquire Remix) - Whelan & Di Scala featuring - Abigail Bailey: An update to the original from a number of years ago.

Windmills (Club Mix) - Meck feat. Dusty Springfield: The late Dusty is dusted off with a hot progressive house beat.

Celebration (Felguk Vocal Mix) – Madonna: The 40th #1 club tune for her Madgesty in the U.S. This is my second fave of the many mixes after the Benassi. "Haven’t I seen you somewhere before? You look familiar. You wanna dance?, Yeah…"

Hey Boys And Girls (Truth Of The World Pt.2) (Diamond Cut Remix) - Evermore: A retro sound with a killer chorus that seeps into your head. Diamond Cut has become one of my favorites.

Track List Part 4 (32:02)

1. Piano in the Dark (7th Heaven Club Mix) – Shanie:

The former U.S. top ten hit by Brenda Russell is remade by Shanie with a fun house mix by 80’s group turned remixers 7th Heaven. “He holds me close like a thief of the heart, He plays a melody, Born to tear me all apart.”

2. Paranoid (Dave Aude Club Mix) – Jonas Brothers:

Oh my, so I never thought I would own or like a Jonas Bros. tune. It’s all about the Dave Aude remix. It’s fun. It’s the tune I hate to love. Just give into it.

3. Smash Into You (Flash Brothers Remix) – Beyonce:

Everyone was into the Halo remixes. But I rather enjoyed what the Flash Brothers did to what was a mediocre Beyonce song (IMHO). I’m willing to run too, Beyonce, while I listen to this tune!

4. Forgiveness (Digital Dog Remix) - Wamdue Project featuring Jonathan Mendelsohn: I love dj/producer duo Digital Dog! I also love their new mix of my recent fave tune by Wamdue Project (See my previous set called Forgiveness). Put the two together and it's a match made in heaven. THANK YOU!

5 Love Comes (Riff & Rays Club Mix) – Bananarama:

Another 80’s connection. Riff & Rays creates a piano house stomper while Bananarama tries to relive it’s former glory. They may not succeed but this remix is fun.

6. Confusion Girl (Riff & Rays Club Mix) – Frankmusic:

Brit producer/vocalist Vincent Frank has a new album. Riff & Rays once again turn up the beat to fun. “Confusion girl never gives or takes, Tries to cover up all of her mistakes, Wanting to be someone else, Anything but herself, …It’s such a shame.”

7. Gone (Extended Mix) – Lasgo:

Gone are the days of the great Lasgo tunes. But ‘Gone’ may herald a return as this electro house beat portends. “Oops, you're gone. Just play your games with someone else.”

Place parts 1 – 4 in order in your iTunes for a continuous two hour mixed set. Look for an outstanding new one hour mix set, Electronic Love, next week.

Track List Part 3 (33:07):

1. This Moment (Progressive Mix) - Nic Chagall: Nic is one half of the popular German trance duo Cosmic Gate. This tune deserves to be heard more often. Great emotional trance the way it should be.

2. In Love With You (Original Club Mix) – Atrium: House music producers Steve Mac and Paul Harris crank out an infectious tune. TJ’s vocals also inject warmth while the “I’m in love with you” line gets stuck in your head. Five out of five stars!

3. Nemur (Walls Of Guitars Extended Version) - Dusty Kid: Paolo Alberto Lodde, ‘Dusty Kid’, hails from Sardinia and is a classically trained musician turned techno producer who swears ze is a girl trapped in a man’s body. This excellent track is from ze’s debut album A Raver’s Diary.

1. I Will Be Here (Tiesto Remix) - Tiesto & Sneaky Sound System: Uber Icon DJ/Producer Tiesto assaults us with an electrofied tech groove. Yeah, I would be there too. Kudos for snagging Sneaky Sound System to collaborate with.

2. I'm Not Sorry - Thecocknbullkid: New comer Anita Blay, a.k.a. Thecocknbullkid, continues the electro tech with her non-apologetic anthem. Love it gurl. "would you hate me... I might be wrong. But I'm not sorry. I'd do it again. Again. Again. ooh!"

4. Free 4 Love (Club Mix) - Hanna Hansen & David Fuentes featuring Maxx Diago: Is it house or is it electro. It’s electro with a nice piano and catchy “free for love” chorus. Dance on to the night.

5. We Are Golden (Mirwais Vocal Mix) - Mika: Mirwais reconfirms his talent years after 'Music' (Madonna) with his outstanding mix of the not so closeted Mika and the result is simply golden. "Running around like a clown on purpose. We are not what you think we are."

6. Unreal To Me (Corderoy & Bury Remix) – FKN: A wannabe trance but pop groove that will not get out of my head. "As long as I'm free to do what I want to do. It won't feel so unreal to me."

7. No Regrets (Chriss Ortega Sunrise Mix) - Alex Morph featuring Simon: Alex has made some of my fave trance tunes but Ortega and the Simon vocal should be married. Yay for great emotional trance.

Track List Part 1 (33:25):

1. Hold On (Freemason's Club Mix) - Mr. DYF featuring Shena:

The Freemason's beg us to hold on and hang tough and no doubt you will as they never cease to please.

2. Follow Me - Stent and Frater:

The classic by Stent and Frater asks us to follow them, while we end hate, to a way fun updated house groove.

3. Celebration (Benny Benassi Remix) - Madonna:

Her Madgesty commands us to party with her and her friend DJ/producer Paul Oakenfold. Classic Madonna with a Benassi tip. I bow down to her 26+ year reign. Long live the queen!

If you are a Club Kerry NYC fan then you know I love a male vocal and this song fits the bill. It doesn't hurt that my fave mix is by one of my fave trance dj/producer duos, Myon & Shane 54, who hail from Hungary.
